Today, it's all about forage. With grass disappearing fast and hay supplies under pressure, Spike and Louise talk about why forage is the foundation of every horse's diet, how to work out what your horse is really getting, and what to do if shortages bite this winter. They also dive into one of the most common yard debates: balancers vs. complete feeds, and why a handful of chaff and a balancer might not be enough for horses in proper work.

Episode Highlights

  • Forage under pressure: why shortages are a real concern this winter.
  • Spotting what's missing: practical ways to assess intake and condition.
  • Planning ahead: tips to stretch supplies, reduce waste, and use safe alternatives.
  • Balancers vs. complete feeds: what each really provides and when they work.
  • Feeding myths debunked: from "protein panic" to the fear of feeding too much.

Guests

  • Spike the Vet
  • Louise Jones, Connolly's Red Mills
